Why use Composio?
Apart from a managed and hosted MCP server, you will get:
- CodeAct: A dedicated workbench that allows GPT to write its code to handle complex tool chaining. Reduces to-and-fro with LLMs for frequent tool calling.
- Large tool responses: Handle them to minimise context rot.
- Dynamic just-in-time access to 20,000 tools across 870+ other Apps for cross-app workflows. It loads the tools you need, so GPTs aren't overwhelmed by tools you don't need.
How to install Currents api MCP in Codex
Run the setup command
Run this command in your terminal to add the Composio MCP server to Codex.
It will initiate the authentication in a browser window, authorize Codex to access your Composio account.
(Optional) Authenticate with OAuth
To authenticate manually, run the login command to open a browser window and authorize Codex to access your Composio account.
Verify the connection
Run codex mcp list to confirm Composio appears as a registered MCP server.
Codex App
Codex App follows the same approach as VS Code.
- Click ⚙️ on the bottom left → MCP Servers → + Add servers → Streamable HTTP:
- Fill the header and Key fields with
{ "x-consumer-api-key" = "ck_*******" }. - The Key is the Composio API key, that you can find on connect.composio.dev
- Click on Authenticate and authorize Codex to your Composio account and you're all set.
- Restart and verify if it's there in
.codex/config.toml
What is the Currents api MCP server, and what's possible with it?
The Currents api MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Currents api account. It provides structured and secure access to global news data and usage analytics, so your agent can fetch the latest headlines, monitor news categories, analyze usage reports, and automate real-time news tracking on your behalf.
- Fetch real-time news articles: Instantly retrieve the latest news stories from diverse sources worldwide, filtered by category or language.
- Monitor activity notifications: Set up notification channels for specific users or applications, allowing your agent to watch for real-time events and updates.
- Analyze usage statistics: Access detailed usage reports for Google Workspace entities to gain insights into user activity patterns and system performance.
- Fallback news listing: When listing users isn't supported, seamlessly get the most recent news articles as a fallback to keep information flowing.
- User activity reporting: Retrieve granular usage reports for individual users, helping you track engagement and audit activity over time.

FAQ
What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Currents api MCP?
With a standalone Currents api MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Currents api tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Currents api and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.
Can I use Tool Router MCP with Codex?
Yes, you can. Codex fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Currents api tools.
Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Currents api while using Tool Router?
Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Currents api scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.
How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?
All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Currents api data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
